1,500-gallon natural white liquid storage tank built for heavy-duty industrial chemical containment. Manufactured by Chemtainer from virgin linear polyethylene (HDPE) rated to handle liquids up to 15.8 pounds per gallon. FDA approved for contact with potable water, ensuring safe storage for drinking water and food-grade liquids.
The 1500 Gallon HDPE Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is designed for commercial operations, agricultural producers, and industrial facilities with serious storage demands. With 1,500 gallons of storage capacity, this tank serves as the backbone of serious heavy-duty industrial chemical containment operations. It handles the volume demands of commercial and agricultural applications where running out of supply is not an option.
Constructed from virgin linear polyethylene (HDPE) using a single-piece rotational molding process that eliminates seams, weld lines, and potential leak points. The 1.9 specific gravity rating means this tank is built with significantly heavier wall sections than a standard water tank — necessary to safely contain liquids weighing up to 15.8 pounds per gallon. That extra wall thickness is not optional when you are storing aggressive industrial chemicals. Translucent white walls allow visual level monitoring without opening the tank and reflect sunlight to keep contents cooler. Maximum operating temperature is 120° F / 48° C, with UV stabilizers compounded directly into the resin for outdoor service life.
This tank measures 127 inches tall with a 64-inch diameter, requiring 22.3 square feet of level ground. Empty weight is 340 pounds. At full capacity with a 1.9 SG liquid, expect approximately 24,109 pounds on the foundation. Requires an engineered reinforced concrete foundation designed by a structural professional for the full loaded weight. Install on a level, compacted surface. Ensure adequate clearance above for lid access and around the perimeter for plumbing connections and visual inspection.
This tank ships without pre-installed fittings, giving you full flexibility to position inlet and outlet connections exactly where your plumbing layout requires. Use polyethylene-compatible bulkhead fittings for all penetrations. The 16" lid opening provides ample access for interior inspection, cleaning, and installation of float switches, level sensors, or submersible pumps. Use schedule 80 PVC or stainless steel bulkhead fittings on the NPT connections. Install a full-port ball valve and consider a Y-strainer to protect downstream equipment.
Chem-Tainer Industries has manufactured chemical-resistant polyethylene tanks in the USA since 1957. Their tanks are specifically engineered for chemical storage applications with wall thicknesses and resin formulations matched to the demands of aggressive chemicals. Backed by a 3-year manufacturer warranty from Chemtainer against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions. FDA approved for contact with potable water and food-grade liquids. Every tank is inspected before it leaves the production floor — and we inspect it again before it ships from our facility.
